The Time Has Come: Kinder Eggs Are Making Their Way to America goodhousekeeping.com

Kinder Surprise Eggs are considered one of the greatest chocolate treasures in Europe. However, we Americans have been missing out on the chocolate egg and mini toy product, because the FDA banned them in the '70s as a choking hazard.

But now is the time to rejoice, candy lovers, because Italian candymaker Ferrero revealed on Monday that a special version of these chocolates will debut in the U.S in 2018.

CNN reports that surprise eggs have previously been available here on the "black market," but the new eggs, called Kinder Joy, will be legally sold in the U.S. come next January.
